LENS FOCUS
Do not adjust the lens focus in the initial period after switching the projector on. The high clarity projector lens is thermally affected by the light from the light source, making the focus unstable in the period just after switching on. Please allow a warm-up time of at least 30 minutes before adjusting the lens focus.
Essential information
8  ENGLISH
Precautions with regard to safety (continued)
CAUTIONS ON USE
IN ORDER TO GET THE PICTURE QUALITY
Draw curtains or blinds over windows and turn off any lights near the screen to prevent outside light or light from indoor lamps from shining onto the screen. Depending on where the projector is used, air exhaust vents or the warm air from air conditioning can cause a shimmering effect on the screen. For this reason, take care not to shield the air exhaust vents and consider the
direction of the air owing from air conditioning.
DO NOT TOUCH THE SURFACE OF THE
PROJECTOR LENS WITH YOUR BARE HAND.
If the surface of the lens becomes dirty from ngerprints or anything else, this will be magnied and projected
onto the screen. Please put the standard lens cover on the projector when you do not use it.
DO NOT MOVE THE PROJECTOR WHILE IT IS OPERATING OR SUBJECT IT TO VIBRATION OR IMPACT.
The service life of its internal components will be shortened.
THE PROJECTOR HAS A HIGH PRESSURE MERCURY LAMP THAT IS CHARACTERIZED AS FOLLOWS:
OPTICAL COMPONENTS
It may be necessary to replace the optical components such as Liquid crystal panels and Polarizing plates in less than 1 year if using the projector in a high temperature environment or in a very dusty, oily smoke or tobacco smoke environment. For more details, please contact your dealer.
LIQUID CRYSTAL PANEL
The Liquid crystal panels are precision-made. Note that in rare cases, pixels of high precision could be missing or always lit, but this is not a malfunction. Do not project the same image for long periods of time, as this may remain as an afterimage on the liquid crystal panel. Display the white screen test pattern for more than an hour to remove it. See “TEST PATTERN” on page 39.
SECURITY
TAKE SAFETY MEASURES AGAINST
FOLLOWING INCIDENTS.
Personal information being leaked via this product. Unauthorized operation of this product by a malicious third party. Interfering or stopping of this product by a malicious
third party.
SECURITY INSTRUCTION
The brightness of the lamp will decrease over time. The lamp may explode or shorten the lamp life by shocks or chipping damage.
In rare cases, it may burst shortly after the rst use.
The possibility of its bursting increases when the lamp is used beyond the replacement time. If the lamp bursts, gas inside the lamp is released in
the form of smoke. The life of a mercury lamp varies according to the
individual difference or conditions of use. In particular, turning the power on and off frequently
and/or repeatedly as well as continuous use for 10 hours will greatly affect the life cycle. Provide a lamp for replacement in advance.
CONNECTION TO EXTERNAL DEVICE
When connecting the projector to a computer or external device, use the power cord supplied with the corresponding device and a commercially available shielded interface cable.
The connecting network must be secured by rewall
or others. Change your password regularly.
Do not use a password that is simple to guess.• Panasonic and its afliate companies would never
directly inquire about your password. Do not share your password with the general public.
Set a password, and place restrictions on the users who can log in.

NOTE:
For best projection image quality, install a screen where sunlight or room lightings do not • shine directly onto the screen. Close window shades or curtains to block the light and turn off the lightings.
Do not use the projector at a raised or horizontally tilted position. It may cause the projector to malfunction.
However, you can tilt the projector’s body approximately ±30 ° vertically and ±10 °
horizontally.
Over tilting may result in shortening the component’s life.
Do not cover the air outlet port and air intake ports or place anything within 50 cm (20") near them as this may cause damage
or injury.
